This alarms me a little, as I think that based on my experience, most allegations against nurses (at least the ones that I've heard about) are false, or at least overblown. I am a firm believer in cause and effect, and nurses who are defacing the profession deserve what they get. I like the idea of cleaning house and getting a fresh start, and I agree that years to investigate wrongdoings is far too long, but I fear that a new nursing board that is putin place solely because the last board wasn't swift enough to punishnurses may go overboard (no pun intended)What do you think?

I read the article in the paper - and I do have skepticism when it comes to media - but it truly does sound like it is time to shake the BRN up a bit. Especially if all that was said about the Pres was true. I do know nurses who have worked thru the system who shouldnt have....whether or not the replacements The Actor chose are any better - we will have to wait and see. I dont know and havent seen, the criteria he used to select the replacements so quickly.

About Braden

"...As the explorers investigated this newfound treasure, they were drawn to the currency of this civilization. Ordinary in appearance but with the words E Pluribus Braden inscribed carefully along the border and with a picture of a strikingly handsome young nurse emblazoned boldly in the center. Truly this must have been a remarkable people..."

No, it isn't you I'm talking about. Believe it or not, you are not the only patient who came in the ER with that same complaint in the last year, let alone the last week. Besides, I'm not breaking any HIPAA laws because I'm not divulging any identifying information, and I'm probably combining three cases together and changing the gender and age when I write about that crazy patient anyway.

Besides, even if it is you, do you really want to admit to having done that?
